Is there anything going on on your end that would contribute to a ridiculous lag? ISP issues, anything like that? I know several others have experienced the same thing, so that leads me to believe that it might be more server-side than local-sicde ...

Yes, I experienced it myself. Last night, I tried to log on, while I think your Ilolisa and Manny's Alice were on. It took a really long time to even load, and after I got in it was wonky also. So since I was tired anyways, I left.

I'd speculate that a Friday night during Xmas holidays might see the whole Western world online gaming and shopping, that could cause lag.

I looked up the communal loot pile in the beholders today, and I recall Manny saying he had found it the other day. Well, I got to thinking that maybe the new loot pile should be checked as a cause of this lag, as when I was dealing with it a moment ago, it was problematic. The animations kept disappearing parts of the loot, then reappearing it again, and it took me forever to get things to show on pages 2 and 3 of the chest --for the longest time thought those pages were empty-- and hard to take items, and generally an entirely sticky laggy experience. And it was a long animation with lots of scene changes as stuff was taken and pages cleared. I was the only one IG at the time.

It's certainly a very lovely animation sequence, but I'd suggest that the plentiful and somewhat erratic animations of this wonderful new loot pile could be causing lag.

Server just crashed... think it was lag related? The lag was so horrendous, and had been for the last couple hours that I could barely get my character to walk across a single area. Would take minutes, and a TON of rubber-banding back to my previous position. I was the only person on the server.

A number of times today, the game has lagged up, and after just a few moments, crashes. The server takes several minutes to start back up after one of these crashes.

At the time of all the crashes I was the only one on the server, and not doing anything partculary 'crash' worthy except for the first instance (Auger hunting beholders.... seriously, that horde has to go if no others ) The lag and resulting crash hit rather soon (within minutes) of logging on.

I think my ISP has been doing local work tonight. I've gotten disconnected from the net a few times that I've noticed.

Hoping it's cleared up now. I'm going to keep an eye on it until morning...I have a feeling an IP address change will happen soon, so I'll have to update the website with the new address and restart the server if that happens so we show up in the gamespy replacement listings again.
